How do I cover Rome's coming out of floor?

[farmerjohn1324]

This will be going in to a sink cabinet. You can see the fish tape sticking out of the conduit. There will be 2 Romex sticking out, that will eventually power a dishwasher, GFCI, and garbage disposal.

Do I need to get some metal conduit for this? Does it just fit loosely over the Romex?

Edit: The title should say "cover Romex" but my phone did an autocorrect.

It should have been stranded conductors, in EMT, not romex, with the riser high enough to penetrate the floor of the base cabinet and terminated in to a 4" "J" box, where you then distribute for your use.

As previously discussed, powered from the same service buss bar, to avoid an unintentional 240V presence.

Have you ever tried pulling 2 Romex cables thru a PVC that size and going around corners?

Again you ask your question after the fact.

 

[JoeD]

You don't need two cables. Just pull one three wire cable and setup a multi wire branch circuit with a shared neutral.

Haven't tried pulling yet. But I can see that 2 Romex takes up about half the diameter of the 1" conduit. I have lube. If it doesn't work, I'll find something that does.

Make it easy on yourself, or learn the hard way.

You cam purchase stranded conductors by the ft.

No pull lube necessary.

What is the equivalent of a 12-2 with ground Romex if I'm using stranded conductors?

I don't know types of wire but you can get away with red black white and ground, 2 circuits use the same neutral.

And the same ground?

In which case, a 12-3 w/ground would work.

Do I buy different colors? I would get awfully confused with 6 black wires.

How many? 4 (2 hot, shared neutral, shared ground)? 6 (2 hot, 2 neutral, 2 ground)?

Just that, 12ga. Black, 12ga. white and a 14ga. green.

A single grnd. 14ga green.

Decide how many circuits you are going to run.

2 circuits. Each from a 20 amp breaker.

I have pulled over 100 all red wires thru the same conduit what’s to be confused about. Each wire has only two ends.

!-12ga black, 1-12ga. red, from the same 20A mini breaker, 1-12ga. white and 1-14ga. green.

What kind of covering does the wire have inside the sink base after it leaves that J box? I don't imagine I can just have wires loose underneath the sink.

Some kind of metal conduit?

Run romex to the individual points of use.

You will need to run conduit to a box in the cupboard.
